“True Blood” actor worked with wolves to perfect role

Joe Manganiello plays a werewolf on the show “True Blood” which plays on HBO.

He said, in an interview given to Parade Magazine, that he loves playing a werewolf. He said he didn’t want to watch anyone else’s version of what a werewolf is. So he decided to go to the source – wolves.

“I actually went to the primary source. I went straight to wolves.” Manganiello told Parade. ” So I actually got to hang out with wolves and wolf trainers and speak to them about wolf habits, wolf behavior. And then I got a bunch of wolf videos and read wolf books, and really got down with the animal.”

Smart decision.

And based on the massive critical acclaim this show continues to get, it pays off to learn from wolves. Something we have all known for a long time.
